What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tolerability assessment by using a symptom questionnaire (QLQ-H&N35) before and after surgery. Evaluation of tracheal mucosa directly during surgery and after the end of study by using photos.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in symptoms and tracheal mucosa after surgery of expected average length of 5 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall assessment of safety (device related adverse events and any problems in post postoperative course)

    Measured: Participants will be followed on the surgery day and the day after surgery

  2. Overall assessment of device performance

    Recording of any device related problems experienced by the physician/health care personnel

    Measured: The performance will be followed during surgery of an expected average duration of 5 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BIP ETT (Bactiguard) and Standard ETT in people with Endotracheal Intubation During Surgery and Hospital Acquired Infections, run by Bactiguard AB at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tolerability assessment by using a symptom questionnaire (QLQ-H&N35) before and after surgery. Evaluation of tracheal mucosa directly during surgery and after the end of study by using photos. (time frame: Change from Baseline in symptoms and tracheal mucosa after surgery of expected average length of 5 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01682486, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jun 2016.
